Windows 7: VERY persistent 0x00000116 error

Any time I launched up anything graphically-demanding (not necessarily a video game, even something as light as a high-quality Youtube video can set off the random crashes), my computer restarts itself. I don't see a BSoD, but I assume it's there and I can't see it due to the graphic adapter resetting itself. In Safe Mode, my computer can stay on forever. It can also stay on indefinitely if I remain on the login screen, or a blank desktop. I've already read up quite a bit about this error, and believe me when I say that I've seemingly tried it all.

I've already tried running both Driver Sweeper and DDU to do a clean re-install of my NVIDIA Drivers, multiple times, using differently-dated drivers. I don't have overheating issues, as already thoroughly checked through Speccy. I've already done memtests using Windows Memory Diagnostic. I've already done CPU tests using Prime95. Due to immediate crashes, I can't run any graphic stress tests such as FurMark. I've already scanned my computer for malware using MSE and MBAM. Most recently, and finally, I've re-formatted my computer to Windows 7 once more. NOTHING has helped!

I've answered all of that in my original post. I've tried doing clean re-installs of my drivers already, I can't run Furmark without crashing, I don't overclock, the computer isn't hot. What I first wrote goes through everything in detail, including what I have tried to remedy this. Still unsure as to what it could be.

There are lots of things in the original post ..... we dont need to know all those.
